Sports Item

• Many men are interested in sports, so take that into account when you choose a gift for the man you are shopping for. If he is a sports fan, choose a T-shirt, cap, license plate holder or another piece of paraphernalia from his favorite team. For a man who likes to play sports, buy him a set of golf balls, a reusable water bottle or a new basketball.
  
  

Alcohol

• When you are shopping for a man who likes to unwind at the end of a hard day with a drink, choose a gift that is alcohol related. You could give him a bottle of his favorite wine or liquor. Alternatively, select a set of shot glasses, beer mugs or wine glasses that he can add to his bar.
  
  

Tool

• For some men, a tool is the best kind of gift available. While some tools are expensive, there are plenty that you can find for less than $25. Buy the handyman in your life a new set of drill bits, screwdrivers or wrenches. You could also choose items like a laser level or a picture hanging set.
  
  

Gift Certificate

• When you simply cannot come up with the perfect gift for under $25, choose a gift certificate for the man you are shopping for. Because $25 is not a ton of money, give a gift certificate to a store that sells items that do not cost a lot of money. For example, $25 will go far at a coffee shop or a local sandwich shop. A music lover would likely enjoy $25 worth of music downloads.
